SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
QUALITY SYSTEM MANUAL
The objective of the OEC Quality System Manual is to outline the quality organization for the
laboratory. The Quality System Manual sets the standard under which all laboratory operations
are performed including the laboratory's organization, objectives, and operating philosophy.
The Quality System Manual defines the policies, procedures, and documentation required to
meet the objectives of sampling and analytical services provided.
lle
1.1
d
OILFIELD ENVIRONMENTAL & COMPLIANCE INC. (OEC) is an analytical laboratory and field support
company located in Santa Maria, California. It is operated as a commercial environmental laboratory,
specializing in the analytical testing of solids, liquids, air, and product matrices. It is the goal of OEC to
provide clients with data that is valid, defensible and reproducible while meeting their specific needs.
tro
The Quality Director ensures that OEC policies and objectives for quality are documented by
reference or inclusion in the Quality System Manual. The Quality System Manual is
communicated to, understood by, and implemented by all personnel concerned. Where the
Quality System Manual does not document laboratory requirements, a separate SOP will do so.
on
In the following sections, detailed information will be given on OEC procedures for personnel
qualifications, sample collection, CoC documentation, sample handling, storage and disposition,
equipment calibrations and maintenance, reagents, SOPs, quality control procedures and data
reduction, validation and verification.
SCOPE OF TESTING
The laboratory scope of analytical testing services includes those listed in Appendices D & E.
1.3
GLOSSARY & ACRONYMS
Refer to the SOP [GEN-DEFIN], Acronyms & Definitions for a complete listing of laboratory terms
and acronyms.
Acceptance criteria – Criteria often applied to data drawn from existing sources
(“secondary “ data) addressing the adequacy of existing information.
Accuracy – The average of results of same sample compared to amount of known analyte in
sample.
Audit – A systematic and independent examination to determine whether quality activities and
related results comply with planned arrangements and whether these arrangements are
implemented effectively and are suitable to achieve objectives.
Bias – The systematic or persistent distortion of a measurement process that causes errors in
one direction.
Blank – A sample containing none of the analytes of interest subjected to the usual analytical
process to establish a zero baseline. It is used to detect contamination during sample
handling preparation and/or analysis.

Comparability – A measure of the confidence with which a method or set of data can be
compared to another.
Conformance – an affirmative indication or judgment that a product or service comply with the
relevant specification, contract or regulation.
Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV) – The protocol to check the calibration curve on a
batch basis to verify that it is still valid. The normal check is to test one of the original midlevel calibration standards and verify that the RPD is within the acceptance range of the
method.
Corrective action – Any measures taken to rectify conditions adverse to quality and where
possible, to prevent recurrence.
Data quality – A measure of the degree of acceptability or use of data for a particular purpose.
Data reduction – The process of transforming the number of data items by arithmetic
or
statistical calculations, standard curves and concentration factors and assemble them into a
more useful form.
Data validation – An analyte-/sample-specific process that extends the evaluation of data
beyond method, procedural or contractual compliance to determine the analytical quality of
a specific data set.
Data verification – The process of evaluating the completeness, correctness and
conformance/compliance of a specific data set against the method, procedural, or
contractual specifications.
Detection limit – The lowest concentration or amount of the target analyte that can be
determined to be different from zero by a single measurement at a stated level of
probability. Used to distinguish samples that do not contain a specific analyte from samples
that contain low concentration of the analyte.
Duplicates – For each batch analyzed, a sample duplicate, laboratory control duplicate and a
matrix duplicate will be added for quality control purposes to demonstrate precision in
performing the analysis.
Field blank – A clean analyte-free sample which is carried to the sampling site and then exposed
to sampling conditions, returned to laboratory and treated as an environmental sample. It is
used to provide information about contaminants that may be introduced during sample
collection, storage and transport.
Holding time (HT) – The period of time a sample may be stored before analysis.
Initial Calibration Verification (ICV) – Immediate analysis of standards from a different
manufacturer than that of the calibration standards to check suitability of a calibration
curve.
Internal Standard (IS) – Compounds added to the sample after sample preparation for
qualitative and quantitative analysis. The compounds serve to give a standard of retention
time and instrument response.
Laboratory Control Sample (LCS) – A sample made with reagent water and known amounts of
target analytes. It is analyzed with a batch to serve as quality control on the sample
preparation process.
Matrix spike sample (MS) – A sample prepared by adding a known amount of the target analyte
to a specified amount of a matrix. It is used to determine the effect of the matrix on a
method’s recovery efficiency.
Method – A body of procedures and techniques for performing an activity, systematically
presented in the order in which they are to be executed.

Method blank (MB) – A blank prepared and analyzed exactly like the sample to indicate if a bias
has been introduced into the analytical procedure.
Method Limit (ML) or Method Detection Limits (MDL) – Minimum level of a target analyte that
can be determined with 99% confidence.
Reporting Limit (RL) or Practical Quantitation Levels (PQL) – The lowest level that can be
reliably achieved during routine laboratory operating conditions within specified limits of
precision and accuracy. The number given is selected by multiplying the standard deviation
results from the MDL procedure.
Precision – A measure of agreement among repeated measurements of the same property
under identical conditions. It is generally expressed in terms of the standard deviation.
Quality assurance – The sum of all quality control performed, the reporting of the data and
improvement made to ensure that processes are of the quality needed.
Quality control – Procedure to evaluate a single aspect of an analyte or test.
Spike – A substance that is added to an environmental sample to increase the concentration of
the target analyte by a known amount. It is used to measure accuracy. Spike duplicates are
used to assess measurement precision.
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) – A document that details the method for an operation,
analysis or action with thoroughly prescribed techniques and steps to be followed. It is
officially approved as the method for performing certain tasks.

DATA INTEGRITY, ETHICS & GENERAL TRAINING
2.3.1
ORIENTATION TRAINING – New employees are given an orientation upon arrival. Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the laboratory Health and Safety Plan, Data Integrity and
Ethics, Client Confidentiality, and Corrective Action Preventive Action (CAPA) are included in this
orientation. All SOPs have training verification forms as part of the document, and these forms
are filled out and maintained in the employee’s training file.

tro
lle
d
2.2.6
nc
DATA INTEGRITY is the result of the processes that together assure valid data of known and
documented quality. OEC management emphasizes integrity procedures by providing ethical
and complete training for a position before allowing any employee to handle client samples.
U
It is necessary that employees understand that any infractions of the laboratory data integrity
procedures will result in an investigation that could lead to very serious consequences such as
immediate termination, or civil/criminal prosecution. New employees are required to read the
Data Integrity and Ethics procedures and complete the associated Training Verification Form(s).
Signatures on these forms are used to document the employee’s understanding and obligation
to data integrity. Training records regarding data integrity and ethics are signed and dated by
senior management. Data integrity procedures and evidence of inappropriate actions are
reviewed annually through regularly scheduled internal audits or periodically through in-depth
data or records review and are updated by management.
2.3.2
REPORTING INFRACTIONS – Employees can confidentially report ethic and data integrity issues
by having (1) unrestricted access to senior management, (2) the assurance not to be treated
unfairly for reporting ethics and data integrity breaches, and (3) anonymous reporting.

Any potential data integrity issue is handled confidentially until a follow-up evaluation, full
investigation, or other appropriate actions have been completed and the issues clarified.
Inappropriate activities are documented, including disciplinary actions, corrective actions, and
notifications of clients, if applicable. These documents are maintained for a minimum of 5 years.
ANALYTICAL TRAINING – Oilfield Environmental & Compliance, Inc. allows only trained
personnel to perform specific tasks in the laboratory. Proper training documentation includes a
completed training form and a completed Initial Demonstration of Capability (IDoC). All
employees are properly trained before they are assigned tasks that can affect data quality.
IDoCs must be performed whenever there is a new analyst or a significant change in the
analytical instrumentations. Proficiency is demonstrated by preparing and analyzing four
replicates of Quality Control Check with recovery results within 70-130% or current laboratory
defined control limits and RPD ≤ 20%. Management assumes the responsibility to assure
personnel are trained and necessary records of training are kept on-file.

SECTION 3 – QUALITY ASSURANCE FUNCTIONS
d
The Oilfield Environmental & Compliance, Inc. (OEC) Quality System is documented in this Quality
System Manual and associated quality system documents. Together they describe the policies,
objectives, principles, responsibilities, accountability, and implementation plan of the organization for
ensuring quality in its work processes and services.
lle
3.1
QUALITY POLICY & OBJECTIVES
The quality policy is signed and dated as a component of this manual, and is issued under the authority
of the highest level of laboratory management, which demonstrates management’s commitment to
integrity, ethics, the quality system and associated standards. All of the OEC objectives and policies are
documented and the laboratory personnel are required to know and implement them in their work.
tro
Quality Policy – At Oilfield Environmental & Compliance, Inc. (OEC) the purpose of the quality control
program is to produce data of known quality that meets the requirements of standard analytical
methods and client needs. The objective of the quality assurance activities is to provide a system of
evaluation of analytical data throughout operations, and to have quality control data that will define
analytical results in terms of accuracy, precision, completeness and defensibility. Our policy is a
dedication to provide quality environmental testing by upholding the highest quality standards in a
professional and ethical manner. This dedication requires ongoing commitment and continually
improves the quality of our work.
on
Quality Objectives – Objectives are achieved by performing quality assurance with every group of
samples analyzed. The quality assurance is verified by checking sample duplicates, spikes, spike
duplicates, laboratory control samples and blanks. In addition, surrogate recoveries are measured if
applicable to the method. The quality control data generated with the samples is usually supplied to the
client with standard analytical reports. The quality of data generated is confirmed by its assessment
against the following objective parameters:
nc
Accurate – The degree of accuracy is determined by the agreement between an observed value and
an accepted reference or true value. Accuracy is ensured by the adherence to quality handling
protocols and use of dual source certified reference materials for all possible methodologies.
Accuracy is monitored through the performance of quality control check samples, matrix spikes,
laboratory quality control spikes, and surrogate/internal standard spikes.
U
Precise – The degree of precision is determined by the difference in resultant value of two
identically prepared items. Precision is ensured by adherence to protocols for replicate analyses.
Precision is monitored by the performance of sample and/or field duplicates, matrix spike and
control spike duplicates, and the subsequent calculation of relative standard deviation (RSD) or
relative percent difference (RPD).
Representative – The degree of representation is expressed by how accurately and precisely a point
defines the mean characteristics of a population, parameter variations at a specific sampling point,
or an environmental condition within a defined boundary. Proper representation is ensured by
adherence to proper sample treatment protocol including EPA approved methodologies, adherence
to holding times and analysis of field duplicate samples.

C O M P L I A N C E,
I N C.
d
Complete – The degree of completion is determined by the amount of valid data returned from any
sampling set compared to the expected amount under normal conditions. Completeness is ensured
by adherence to all quality protocols for every sample received. OEC makes a concerted effort to
provide the most complete resultant data possible for every sampling set.
lle
Comparable – The degree of comparability is determined by the precision of one data set to
another. Comparability is ensured by adherence to standard operating procedures and consistent
detection levels. Detection levels are evaluated annually to provide documented proof of limit
appropriateness. External comparability is ensured by the use of common reporting units and
general reporting protocols.
3.2
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
tro
Defensible – The degree of defensibility of a specific data set is measured by the completeness of
documentation and traceability to certified standards for comparison. OEC strives to provide the
best quality for our clients and as such, all samples are documented and treated as if their results
will be scrutinized for legal purposes.
on
OEC maintains a change control system that encompasses all critical processes to the laboratory. This
includes new entries or changes to LIMS, equipment, staff, documents (forms & records), methods
(external documents), or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The SOP for Change Management
defines the change procedures for each type of laboratory critical function.
nc
All changes made within the laboratory are performed in such a manner as to fully document all
components of the change, fully train all affected personnel before a change is put into effect, and verify
all necessary approvals prior to making changes. Obsolete documents or references are removed as
soon as a change goes into effect to minimize the possibility for error or confusion.
3.3
DOCUMENT AND RECORD MANAGEMENT
U
To demonstrate that quality has been achieved, OEC maintains a document management system that
includes distributing, reviewing, modifying and controlling all text. This management system includes
both current and obsolete documents.
3.3.1
Controlled Documents are uniquely identified, issued, tracked and kept current as part of quality
management. Many of the controlled documents are also approved documents which means
they need to be signed and dated. All controlled documents are identified by such methods as
issued date, revision number, page number, total number of pages or a mark indicating the end
of document and signature of approving authority. Approved copies of documents are available
in the appropriate areas of the laboratory. Controlled documents are distributed by the Quality
Director or Department Managers.

3.3.1.1 OEC retains documents that are both internal and external. A master list of controlled
internal and external documents is maintained by the Quality Director. The list is
updated periodically.
lle
d
a) Internal documents include SOPs, QC files, Client folders, logbooks, forms,
safety manuals and the Quality System Manual.
b) External documents include reference methods and standards, instrument user
manuals, certificates of analysis and certificates of traceability.
tro
3.3.1.2 Changes may be performed by handwritten modification to a hard copy document, on a
temporary basis, with a date and identifier (initials) accompanying the change. When
changes are necessary, the obsolete documents are removed. Changes made to
electronic documents must be accompanied by a change tracking function.
Amendments to documents are incorporated into a new revision and reissued as soon
as practicable.
Obsolete Documents – All invalid or obsolete documents are removed, and except for the
archived copy, destroyed. This will prevent unintended use. Obsolete documents retained for
legal use or historical knowledge preservation are appropriately marked and stored in the OEC
storage area and kept for a period of ten years.
3.3.3
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are documents that give a detailed description of how
laboratory processes may be accurately reproduced. They are used to ensure consistency of
application of common procedures. There are two types: 1) test method SOPs, which have
specifically required details, and 2) general use SOPs that document the more general
organizational procedures. Copies of all SOPs are accessible to all personnel. Each SOP indicates
the effective date, the revision number, and the signature(s) of the Laboratory Director, the
Quality Director and when applicable the Department Manager and method reference. A list of
representative OEC SOPs can be found in Appendix B.
nc
on
3.3.2
Records are a subset of documents. Records may be on any form of media, including electronic
and hard copy. Records allow for the historical reconstruction of laboratory activities related to
sample handling and analysis. Oilfield Environmental & Compliance, Inc. (OEC) maintains a
record system appropriate to its needs, records all laboratory activities, and complies with
applicable standards or regulations as required.
U
3.3.4
3.3.4.1 Records of all procedures to which a sample is subjected while in the possession of the
laboratory are kept for a period of ten years. OEC retains all original observations,
calculations and derived data, calibration records, and a copy of the test report for a
minimum of ten years. The laboratory maintains a record management system for
control of laboratory notebooks, instrument logbooks, standards logbooks, and records
for data reduction, validation, storage and reporting.
3.3.4.2 Records, including electronic records, are easy to retrieve, legible, and protected from
deterioration or damage; held secure and in confidence; and are available to accrediting

3.3.4.3 In the event that the OEC transfers ownership or goes out of business, records are
maintained or transferred according to the clients’ instructions.
CORRECTIVE & PREVENTIVE ACTION (CAPA)
3.4.1
PREVENTIVE ACTION – At OEC, preventive action eliminates or minimizes non-conformances
and incorrect data through scheduled preventive maintenance on equipment and through the
review process.
lle
3.4
tro
Preventive action includes, but is not limited to, review of QC data to identify quality trends,
regularly scheduled staff quality meetings, annual budget reviews, managerial reviews, and
other actions taken to prevent problems.
All employees have the authority to recommend preventive action procedures, however
management is responsible for implementing preventive action.
CORRECTIVE ACTION is the action taken to eliminate the causes of an existing nonconformity,
defect, or other undesirable situation in order to prevent recurrence (NELAC, 2003).
on
3.4.2
nc
3.4.2.1 POLICY – All deficiencies that occur in the OEC laboratory are considered serious and
remedial action is taken immediately. This includes data quality, systematic problems,
instrument failures or safety practices. Corrective action taken is appropriate for the
magnitude of the problem and the degree of risk.
U
3.4.2.2 PROCEDURE – The individual that is initially aware of a problem is responsible for
initiating corrective action. All deficiencies are investigated and a corrective action plan
developed and implemented if determined necessary.
a) Selection and Implementation of Corrective Actions – Once a non-conformance
is noted, the first action is an investigation to determine the origin of the
problem. A Corrective Action Report (CAR) is initiated (See SOP-Corrective
Action Preventive Action [GEN-CAPA]) listing cause of problem and possible
solution. It is then submitted to the Quality Director to receive a unique
number and recorded in the CAPA system. The Quality Director and
Department Manager will determine the corrective action to be taken, and the
Department Manager will implement the corrective action.
b) Monitoring of Corrective Action – The Department Managers will monitor
implementation and results of the corrective action. The Quality Director will
track, catalog and review the corrective action to assess effectiveness.

3.4.2.3 TECHNICAL CORRECTIVE ACTION – Sample data associated with a failed quality control is
evaluated for the need to be reanalyzed or qualified. When quality control results are
unacceptable, all pertinent information is documented on a CAR and submitted with
raw data for review.
lle
a) The analyst is responsible for initiating and recommending corrective actions.
Analysts routinely implement corrective actions for data with unacceptable QC
measures. First level correction may include re-analysis for obvious cause
without further assessment. If the test method SOPs addresses the specific
actions to take, they are followed. Otherwise, corrective actions start with
assessment of the cause of the problem.
tro
b) The Department Manager will review corrective action reports and suggest
improvements, alternative approaches, and procedures where needed.
c) If the data reported are affected adversely by the nonconformance, the client is
notified in writing. The discovery of a non-conformance for results that have
already been reported to the client must be immediately evaluated for
significance of the non-conformance, its acceptability to the client, and
determination of the appropriate corrective action.
nc
on
3.4.2.4 POLICY FOR EXCEPTIONALLY PERMITTING DEPARTURES FROM DOCUMENTED POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES – OEC allows the release of non-conforming data only with approval
on a case-by-case basis by the appropriate Department & Project Manager. Where
additional expertise is required, approval may be necessary from Senior Management.
Planned departures from procedures or policies do not require audits or investigations.
Examples of exceptions would be insufficient sample volume, expired holding time, or
sample data not affected by the results. Permitted departures for non-conformances
are fully documented and the reason for the departure along with qualification for
acceptance is included with report data given to the client.
CONTROL OF NON-CONFORMING WORK
NON-CONFORMING WORK is work that does not meet acceptance criteria or requirements.
Non-conformances can include unacceptable quality control results departures from standard
operating procedures or test methods. Requests for departures from laboratory procedures are
approved by the Laboratory Director and documented.
U
3.5
3.5.1
OEC policy for control of non-conforming work is to identify the non-conformance, determine if
it will be permitted, and take appropriate action. All employees have the authority to stop work
on samples when any aspect of the process does not conform to laboratory requirements.
3.5.2
The procedure for investigating and taking corrective action of non-conforming work is
described in Section 3.4.2 Corrective Action. Employees should immediately notify their

d
Department Manager of any non-conformance. The Department Manager evaluates the
significance of the nonconforming work and takes corrective action immediately. The client is
notified if their data has been impacted. The Department Manager authorizes the resumption
of analysis on all non-conformance work.
METHOD VALIDATION
Oilfield Environmental & Compliance, Inc. (OEC) ensures the quality of its analysis by using test
methods approved by EPA and other industry-recognized analytical methods. OEC also
guarantees quality analysis by having all analysts demonstrate capability of performing the test
methods that they are assigned and that all methods are validated before being put to use.
Refer to Section 5.5 (References for Analytical Methods) for a source listing of reference
methods.
3.6.1
Demonstration of Competency (DoC), Initial & Continuing – OEC confirms that it is capable of
generating data of acceptable accuracy and precision on all methods before employing them.
This is accomplished by having all analysts complete a Demonstration of Competency to
establish ability to perform the methods.
tro
lle
3.6
Initial Test Method Evaluation – For chemical analyses, the Initial Test method evaluation
involves the determination of the Method Detection Limits (MDL), confirmation of the Reporting
Limit (RL, also known as PQL: Practical Quantitation Limits), an evaluation of precision and bias,
and an evaluation of the selectivity of the method. Additional studies may be required
dependent on the specific instrumentation and method. The SOP for Equipment Validation,
Calibration & Maintenance [GEN-EVCM] describes this process in detail.
nc
3.6.2
on
A DoC is performed for each analyte whenever the method, analysts, analytes, or instrument
type is changed. The DoC is documented for each SOP (test method) and matrix performed.
These records are maintained in the training files for each analyst. The Department Manager
certifies that staff members in their area of expertise are trained and authorized to perform all
tests for which we are accredited by signing the SOP training form.
U
3.6.2.1 MDL – The method detection limit (MDL) is the minimum concentration of a target
analyte that can be measured and reported with 99% confidence that the value is above
zero. MDLs must be updated on an annual basis and the studies are kept on file in the
laboratory. Analytical reports requiring ‘J’ flag reporting will display the MDL value for a
particular analyte with values between the MDL and RL provided as estimates.
3.6.2.2 RL & PQL – After the MDL is determined, a reporting limit (RL), or practical quantitation
limit (PQL), must be established. The RL calculation may vary depending on the type
and sensitivity of a particular method. An example of a standard RL calculation is as
follows:
RL = standard deviation of 7 replicates * 10.
The lowest calibration standard is equal to the RL. The RL will always be greater than the
MDL.

Precision and Accuracy – The OEC objective for precision and accuracy is to equal or exceeds the
precision and accuracy defined by the analytical methods on similar samples. Data quality
objectives for accuracy and precision are method specific, and are defined in the SOP for each
method.
d
3.6.3
E N V I R O N M E N T A L
lle
PRECISION is the degree to which a set of observations or measurements of the same property,
obtained under similar conditions, conform to themselves. Precision is usually expressed as
standard deviation, variance, or range, in either absolute or relative terms. Laboratory control
limits are established for measurements of laboratory duplicates, duplicate laboratory control
samples and matrix spike duplicates for quantitative tests when applicable.
3.7
MEASUREMENT TRACEABILITY
tro
For ACCURACY, the laboratory control limits are established for measurements of external
standards, laboratory control samples, matrix spike samples and internal performance
evaluation check samples for quantitative tests. Accuracy is ensured for all possible methods
using two separate standard sources. When these sources differ in exceedance of method
specification a third source must be obtained to act as the decisive reference.
nc
on
Measurement quality assurance comes in part from traceability of standards to certified materials. In
general, calibration is performed with at least five levels of concentration to cover the working range. All
equipment used that affects the quality of test results are calibrated (1) prior to equipment being put
into service, (2) annually or more frequently if specified by the method, (3) if the analytical response has
changed beyond method tolerance, (4) whenever there is a significant modification of the instrument or
the method. The calibration standards are traceable to national standards of measurement or
manufacturers’ certification.
U
Measurements from laboratory equipment provide the uncertainty required by test method or client. If
traceability of measurements to SI units is not possible or not relevant, evidence for correlation of
results through inter-laboratory comparisons, proficiency testing, or independent analysis is provided.
All equipment that affects the quality of test results are calibrated according to the minimum frequency
suggested by the manufacturer, by regulation, by method, or as needed. Clients can verify that required
uncertainty is achieved by reviewing the internal quality control data, if requested.
3.7.1 Reference Materials
where commercially available, reference materials are traceable to national standards of measurement,
or to Certified Reference Materials, usually by a Certificate of Analysis. Internal reference materials,
such as working standards or intermediate stock solutions, are checked as far as technically and
economically possible.
a) Stock standard solutions are prepared from neat substances or purchased from vendors
with certified analyte concentrations. New stock standard solutions are verified against
existing standards prior to use.

b) Standard preparation is documented in analyst logbooks. Results are stored with
calibration data for the method.
lle
d
c) Working standards are verified against certified standards from a second vendor, a
different lot or a different preparation from neat substances. Working standards are
prepared from stock standard solutions by volumetric dilution with method-specific
solvents. When these sources differ in exceedance of method specification a third
source must be obtained to act as the decisive reference.
d) Specific working standard concentrations and diluents are documented in laboratory
SOPs for each method.
Handling and Storage of Reference Standards and Materials
The laboratory manages and transports reference standards and materials in a way that
protects their integrity. Reference standard and material integrity is protected from
incompatible materials by being kept in separate areas. The integrity is also protected by
minimizing exposure to degrading environments or materials. Reference standards and
materials are stored according to manufacturer’s recommendations and separately from
working standards or samples.
3.7.3
Labeling & Documentation of Reference Standards, Reagents, and Materials
Reference standards and materials are tracked from purchase, receipt, and storage through
disposal. Expiration dates are the date on the bottle or six months from date bottle is opened,
whichever comes first.
on
tro
3.7.2
U
nc
3.7.3.1 Records for all standards, reagents, reference materials, and media include:

c) date of receipt
d) reference to the method of preparation
e) date of preparation
f) recommended storage conditions
g) expiration date after which the laboratory shall not use.
h) preparer’s initials (if prepared)
3.7.3.2 In methods where the purity of reagents is not specified, analytical reagent grade is
used. If the purity is specified, that is the minimum acceptable grade.
3.7.3.3 All containers of standards, reagents, or materials, whether original or prepared, are
labeled with an expiration date.
3.7.3.4 All containers of prepared standards and reference materials have a unique identifier,
preparation name, expiration date, preparer’s name and preparation date.

AUDITS
Internal Audits – At OEC the review of the appropriateness and adequacy of the Quality
Assurance Program is ongoing. To identify and contain problems with the Quality Program,
reviews may be done monthly, quarterly and at the least, annually. Personnel may not audit
their own activities except when it can be demonstrated that an effective audit will be carried
out.
tro
3.8.1
lle
AUDITS measure laboratory performance and verify compliance with accreditation/ certification and
project requirements. Audits specifically provide management with an on-going assessment of the
quality system. They are also instrumental in identifying areas where improvement in the quality system
will increase the reliability of data. OEC is subject to both internal and external audits.
on
3.8.1.1 Annually, the laboratory prepares a schedule of internal audits to be performed during
the year. These audits verify compliance with the requirements of the quality system,
including analytical methods, SOPs, ethics policies, and other laboratory policies. The
Quality Director (or other members of Laboratory Management) will plan and execute
the scheduled audits and reviews. All audits, audit findings and any corrective action
taken as a result of an audit will be documented.
3.8.1.2 Notification of clients for events that cast doubt on the validity of the results is
completed within 24 hours.
nc
3.8.1.3 Review of the auditing process is done to ensure that corrective actions that were
needed were implemented and effective.
3.8.2
External Audits – It is OEC’s policy to cooperate and assist with all external audits, whether
performed by clients or an accrediting authority. All external audits are fully documented and
tracked to closure.
U
3.8.2.1 Management ensures that all areas of the laboratory are accessible to auditors as
applicable and that appropriate personnel are available to assist in conducting the audit.
3.8.2.2 Any findings related to an external audit follow corrective action procedures.
3.8.2.3 Management ensures that corrective actions are carried out within the timeframe
specified by the auditor(s).

SUBCONTRACTING OF TESTS
tro
A SUBCONTRACT LABORATORY is defined as a laboratory external to Oilfield Environmental &
Compliance, Inc. (OEC) that performs analyses for this laboratory. When subcontracting analytical
services, OEC assures work requiring accreditation is placed with a state of California accredited
laboratory or one that meets applicable statutory and regulatory requirements for performing the tests.
A list of subcontractors and their test methods with certifications is maintained.
on
OEC notifies the client of the intent to subcontract the work when presenting the contract by stating
what methods the laboratory does not perform and need to be subcontracted. When possible, the
laboratory gains the approval of the client to subcontract their work prior to implementation of a
specific work order, customarily through electronic mail.
nc
The laboratory performing the subcontracted work is identified in the final report. OEC assumes
responsibility to the client for the subcontractor’s work, except in the case where a client or a regulating
authority specified which subcontractor is to be used.

SAMPLE MANAGEMENT
tro
lle
d
5.2.1
on
Laboratory analyses are performed to produce data representative of conditions when the sample was
obtained. To ensure integrity, each sample processed at OEC is checked upon receipt, uniquely
identified, stored and disposed of properly, and all relevant information is recorded.
The laboratory has a sample acceptance policy that specifies the conditions of a sample upon receipt.
The client is immediately notified if these conditions are not met.
nc
When samples are received at the laboratory, their condition is documented, they are given unique
identifiers, and they are logged into the sample tracking system. The laboratory controls and monitors
sample movement and usage between laboratory departments utilizing an Internal Chain-of-Custody
(ICoC) system. The procedures for preservation checks, sample identification, sample logging, sample
dispersal, and sample storage and disposal is found in the SOPs for SAMPLE LOGIN [GEN-LOGIN] &
SAMPLE DISPOSAL [GEN-DISPOSAL].

QUALITY OF TEST RESULTS
5.6.1
Essential Quality Control Procedures – All essential quality control elements are collected and
assessed on a continuing basis. The qualities of test results are recorded in such a way that
trends are detectable, and where practicable, are statistically evaluated. There is a Standard
Operation Procedure (SOP) for each test method that OEC uses. Each SOP has a section
dedicated to the Quality Control criteria. This is often supplemented with quick-reference
criteria in a table format.
lle
d
5.6
tro
All laboratory personnel follow the quality control procedures specified in test methods. The
most stringent of control procedures is used in cases where multiple controls are offered. If it is
not clear which is the most stringent, the control mandated by test method or regulation is
followed.
on
5.6.1.1 To monitor the validity of environmental tests performed, review includes any one or
combination of the techniques below:
a) Utilizing certified reference materials and/or internal quality control using
secondary reference materials;
b) participation in proficiency testing (PT) programs;
c) replicate testing using the same or different methods;
d) retesting of retained samples;
e) correlation of results for different characteristics of a sample.
U
nc
5.6.1.2 Written procedures to monitor quality controls, including acceptance criteria, are
located in the test method SOPs, except where noted, and include such procedures as:
a) use of laboratory control samples and blanks to serve as positive and negative
controls for chemistry methods;
b) use of laboratory control samples to monitor test variability of laboratory
results;
c) use of calibrations, continuing calibrations, certified reference materials and/or
PT samples to monitor accuracy of the test method;
d) measures to monitor test method capability, such as limit of detection, limit of
quantitation, and/or range of test applicability, such as linearity;
e) use of regression analysis, internal/external standards, or statistical analysis to
reduce raw data to final results;
f) use of reagents and standards of appropriate quality;
g) procedures to ensure the selectivity of the test method;
5.6.2
Internal Quality Control Practices – Analytical data generated with QC samples that fall within
prescribed acceptance limits indicate the test method is IN CONTROL. QC samples that fall
outside QC limits indicate the test method is OUT OF CONTROL (non-conforming) and that
corrective action is required or that the data be qualified. OEC QC procedures and QC limits are

e) use of the correct method according to its scope assessed during method
validation;
U
nc
on
3. Consistency, Variability, Repeatability, and Accuracy are assured through:
a) proper installation and operation of instruments according to manufacturer’s
recommendations or according to the processes used during method validation
b) monitoring and controlling environmental conditions (temperature, access,
proximity to potential contaminants)
c) selection and use of reagents and standards of appropriate quality
d) cleaning glassware appropriate to the level required by the analysis. Cleaning
procedures are provided in test method SOPs
e) following SOPs and documenting any deviation, assessing for impact, and
treating data appropriately
f) testing to define the variability and/or repeatability of the laboratory results,
such as replicates
g) use of measures to assure the accuracy of the test method, including calibration
and/or continuing calibrations, use of certified reference materials, proficiency
test samples, or other measures
5.6.2.2 Acceptance or rejection criteria are created according to laboratory policy where no
method or regulatory criteria exist. Acceptance criteria define the boundary for the
appropriate response from laboratory personnel, such as corrective action, reporting
with qualifiers, reanalysis, review, and others.
1. Test Method Capability is assured through:
a) establishment of the method detection limits where appropriate
b) establishment of the practical quantitation limits or reporting level
c) establishment of the range of applicability such as linearity

Method specific or determined by laboratory
U
nc
5.6.2.3.1
Method Blanks (MB) – A reagent or MB is prepared and analyzed with
each batch of 20 or fewer samples of the same matrix. Sample batches may not
exceed 24 hours. The volume of the blank should be approximately equal to the
sample. Analysis of the blank verifies that method interferences caused by
contaminants in solvents, reagents and equipment are known and minimized.
Target analyte should be non-detected in a method blank, providing evidence of
negative control for the batch.
5.6.2.3.2
Laboratory Control Samples (LCS) – Standard reference materials or LCS
from an independent source are introduced periodically (at least once per batch
during testing activity) into the testing scheme to evaluate testing procedure.
Duplicate LCS (LCSD) may be analyzed in lieu of MS/MSD if necessary. The LCS
provides evidence to evaluate laboratory positive control (detectable spike
result), accuracy (spike recovery), and if an LCSD is performed, precision
(relative percent difference between duplicates).
5.6.2.3.3
Matrix Spikes and Matrix Spike Duplicates (MS/MSD) – One sample in
every batch (20 or fewer samples of similar matrix) is spiked in duplicate at a
level, which provides a final concentration greater than or similar to the original
concentration before dilution. This provides evidence to evaluate laboratory

5.6.2.3.4
Sample Duplicate (DUP) – One sample in every batch (20 or fewer
samples of similar matrix) is analyzed in duplicate. This provides evidence to
evaluate laboratory precision (relative percent difference between duplicates).

laboratory for compliance with method, regulatory, laboratory and, where appropriate, client
requirements.
tro
5.6.3
lle
5.6.2.3.5
Surrogate Spikes – SURROGATES are substances with chemical
properties and behaviors similar to the analytes of interest used to assess
method performance in individual samples. Surrogates are added to all samples
(in test methods where surrogate use is appropriate) prior to sample
preparation or extraction. Surrogate recovery results are compared to the
acceptance criteria as published in the mandated test method.
on
The analyst should perform primary data review by compiling the results of the above validation
samples onto the appropriate laboratory records and LIMS system. The analyst electronically
signs his work in LIMS and should sign and date his own records. Any handwritten correction
must be crossed out with a single line and be dated and initialed. All method QC parameters are
verified either on the instrument data system or in LIMS, and documented on a Data Review
Checklist (DRCL) where appropriate. If the batch contains any QC issues, a corrective action
report should be completed and submitted to the Department Manager with the raw data.
nc
The Department Manager or a qualified peer should perform secondary review by examining
the raw data, verifying the QC compliance of each data set and approving the preliminary
sample and QC results in the raw data file and LIMS. The reviewer should counter-sign and date
(may be electronic or hard-copy) the logbooks and the raw data. Any QC problems should be
noted in the batch case narrative or as a corrective action report.
U
Any corrective action or narrative must be reviewed and related samples validated as necessary
by the Department Manager or Quality Director prior to Project Management review. Project
Management performs the tertiary project-level review of all results and generates client
reports.
5.6.4
Control of Data – All pertinent data that are subject to transcription, calculation, or other
manual manipulation is checked in a systematic manner. All commercial software used at OEC is
in an application range that is considered sufficiently validated for use in the laboratory, and is
verified internally before use.
OEC’s procedure to ensure that reported data is free from transcription and calculation errors,
and all quality data has been calculated correctly, is to have all quality control data reviewed by
the Analyst, Department Manager and Project Manager before being released to the client.
Computers and software used for processing or storage are protected, maintained, and secured

tro
Venoco Inc., South Ellwood Oil & Gas Facility, Santa Barbara, CA
He performed sample design, equipment selection, and analytical methods, for the determination of
petroleum and H2S odor being emitted by the loading of a petroleum barge. Sampling points and
interval of sampling was determined while on the barge for a 48-hour period. This remote site was
tested on two separate occasions during the loading of 75,000 barrels of crude oil. Over 60 samples
were taken during each loading event. Results of C1-C6 hydrocarbons, fixed gases, and hydrogen
sulfide, were available to the client within a 3-day period.

Torch Operating Co. HS&P Facility, Lompoc, CA
Worked with Torch staff and Santa Barbara APCD to determine the accuracy of Del Mar Testing Unit
located at HS&P. OEC provided a staff of technicians to gather 45 minute interval sampling from a
produced gas stream. This sampling event ran continuously for 72 hours. All samples were analyzed for
hydrogen sulfide. The data from these tests assisted Torch in proper equipment replacement of the Del
Mar unit. With the installation of a new gas processing system, OEC was asked to conduct weekly
sampling and analysis of HS&P waste gas for hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans. OEC is also on call for
the analysis of butane & propane mix, being produced by the HS&P facility. Analysis consists of field
sampling, field-testing, and laboratory testing.
U

While working for Cirrus Environmental, Inc., Mr. Carstens designed and implemented a two-week study
of PM 10 emissions. The objective of the test program was to determine the PM 10 emissions from
raisin dust, and determine if this facility was operating within their APCD permit. Four high volume
samples were located around the perimeter of the testing facility. The method used during this test
program was 40CFR Part 50 App. B PM10 High Volume Method.
